Motorola have this week confirmed that their highly anticipated Android handset, the Motorola Milestone (aka the Motorola Droid), will be available in the UK from December 7th.

Apparently the handset will only be available from online retailer Expansys who are set to offer the handset exclusively in the UK priced at £449.99 for the sim-free version.

It's rumoured that both T-Mobile and Vodafone plan to release the Motorola Milestone in the UK, but to-date there has been no official announcement from either carrier.

The Motorola Milestone will be the first Android 2.0 handset to launch in the UK and includes a 3.7-inch touch-sensitive display (854 x 480 pixel resolution), a 5.0 megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording capabilities, GPS navigation, media player with support for AMR-NB/WB, MP3, PCM / WAV, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, WMA audio files and MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, WMV video files, and a microSD / microSDHC memory card slot.

The smartphone will also include a USB 2.0 port, 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 512MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM.
